The New Leader of the Labour Party

[Megadrive Man]

Agreed. They aren't going to stay in power forever. Labour need to play the long game. The stupidest thing they could do now is lose the youth vote, and the people in their 20's and 30's.

Yeah, I know. But it probably depends on the scandal. If there was a metoo thing or something like that, he could be in a spot of trouble. Although that cunt Patel looks like she's going to wriggle out of bullying. 

 

Edit...and of course my point is I was hoping we might see something in this labour leadership election to bring some hope, but it's looking so desperate he needs to self harm to give labour a chance. 

Dude, just in the last 12 months:

The 1st one was never going to be anything unless his bird complained and she didn't. 

 

As for the 2nd, I'd never even heard about that one! If that's getting brushed under the carpet it all will. 

 

So we definitely need a leader better than any of this lot.

One of us needs to put on a gimp mask and get bummed by him on video.

 

I nominate Stig.

I mean, I'd say an actual recording of a woman screaming "get off me" during a row with a male politician is quite significant on its own, or at least should be.

 

As for the leadership candidates, if you're saying none are an unstoppable force of charisma, then I tend to agree, but if we're at the point where that's what's required, then we're in pretty bad shape.

We are in bad shape. Unfortunately it's what most of the electorate like.

Just put Andrew Neil on and missed Starmer and the first bit of the Long-Bailey interview but she’s just been absolutely eviscerated about saying she worked for the NHS as a solicitor when she actually worked for a private firm drawing up PFI contracts in the NHS.

[Strontium]

Yep, she helped sell off £190m of NHS property to investment firms in Luxembourg. The deal generated £1.4m in dividends for shareholders last year.

Starmer ultras look away now 

[sir roger]

He was DPP from 2008/2013 , this all seems later. ( I am not a Starmer Ultra )

[moof]

The problems stem from measures imposed when he was top bollock. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

And the winner is...

[Megadrive Man]

Starmer as leader. Rayner as deputy.

As every fucker knew three months ago. 

 

What a hugely exciting, engaging, campaign all round.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Never in doubt.

 

Angela Rayner is deputy, which is also boss as she is future leader material.

[Sugar Ape]

Pretty good showing from Allin-Khan too. I’ve been impressed with her in recent days calling out Johnson for his bollocks on only self isolating for seven days. 
 

 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Let the in-fighting begin anew.

[Megadrive Man]

My gut feeling is that none of the candidates are electable. I really don't see Sir Keir as the man to win back the working class voters that Labour need, and they could lose the youth support as well now. Personally I will support the party as long as they continue to pursue the same policies as the last two elections.

[Sugar Ape]

Terrible showing from RLB. At a minimum you’d expect her to knock out Nandy and take it to a second round. 
 

 

[Jairzinho]

Yes, dreadful from RLB. Seemed an awful candidate from the start.
